How to Efficiently Purge Your Belongings Before a Move

Feb 06, 2024

Moving to a new home is an exciting adventure, but it can also be overwhelming when you realize just how much stuff you've accumulated over the years. At EA Moving, we believe that a successful move starts with efficient purging of your belongings. Here's how to do it right.


Start Early

The key to a stress-free move is starting early. Don't wait until the last minute to sort through your belongings. Begin at least a month before your move date. This gives you ample time to decide what to keep, donate, sell, or throw away.


Sort by Category

Instead of tackling one room at a time, sort your items by category. This method allows you to see exactly how much of each type of item you have, making it easier to decide what to keep and what to let go.


Use the Three-Box Method

This simple yet effective method involves three boxes: one for items to keep, one for items to donate or sell, and one for items to throw away. As you sort through your belongings, place each item in the appropriate box.


Be Ruthless

When deciding what to keep, ask yourself if the item is useful, beautiful, or brings you joy. If it doesn't tick any of these boxes, it's time to let it go. Remember, the goal is to reduce clutter and make your move easier.


Sell or Donate Unwanted Items

Once you've sorted out items you no longer need, consider selling them online or at a yard sale. Alternatively, you can donate them to a local charity. Not only will this help you declutter, but it can also help you recoup some of the costs of moving.


If the thought of purging your belongings feels overwhelming, don't hesitate to seek professional help. At EA Moving, we offer packing services that include helping you sort through your items and decide what to keep.


In conclusion, purging your belongings before a move can seem like a daunting task, but with these tips, you can tackle it efficiently and effectively. Remember, the goal is to make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible. So why not contact us today to find out how we can help?
